Burying the bow into the back of the wave in front is not unusual but
this is a bit extreme and with the wrong boat.

Some guys I know were going out of the inlet at St James City into
those standing waves in a 24' Carolina skiff. at night. They got
sideways to the sea and flipped it. Everyone got out OK but it was
scary. They were able to swim home, get another boat and go get the
skiff.
